History
In 382 AD, the Christian church held a council in Constantinople to mark the final defeat of Arianism, the heretical teachings of Arius, the third century mystic. All his books were ordered destroyed and Arianism was made a crime in 326 AD, but his teachings about the nature of Christ were appealing to many, including the Goths. Then, however, the thinking was suppressed.
